This species ranges from western Angola to northeastern Zambia. It presumably occurs in the intervening region of southeastern Democratic Republic of Congo and this area is included in the species' distribution on the map. There are very few records of this species, and its distribution is very imperfectly known, presumably due to lack of herpetological work within its range.

There is no information on the habitat and ecology of this species. It is presumably a species of humid savannah, and, if it is similar to other members of its genus, it probably breeds in temporary pools.

There is no information on threats to this species, but it is probably widely distributed in a region of low human impact, and so it is unlikely to be significantly threatened, except in local situations.
